My Approach
If you suffer with joint, back or muscular pain, you want to have the fastest and longest lasting relief possible, it's time to put your health first.
Kate McLoone is a health professional with university level training in the assessment and diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions.
Apart from providing pain relief, there are a number of other important ways that a chartered musculoskeletal physiotherapist can help.
These include:
• Identifying exactly what's wrong with your back, neck or other areas of the body because they're trained to diagnose the specific causes of body pain.
• Teaching you exercises that will help with the cure or the prevention of your problem.
Prevention is better than cure and by identifying the factors that led to the problem in the first place; a musculoskeletal physiotherapist can advise on how to avoid musculoskeletal problems in the future.
By processing advanced skills including pain management, Kate McLoone offers a broader range of treatment options than other health professionals and as a result, they are in the best position to improve overall strength, mobility and co-ordination.
Strength comes from customised programs to improve power, endurance, work tolerance and overall fitness; these are often the best methods to stop pain recurring.
Mobility comes from manipulation, mobilisation, stretching, massage and exercise which are all part of her expertise.
Coordination of muscle action is vital for smooth, pain-free movement. Precise, specific exercise advice can help correct faulty spinal movement.
